Nature Revealed

adminNovember 13, 2017November 14, 2017

The clouds are a shade of absolute perfection. The sun is playing hide and seek in the mid-morning sky, and the wind’s breath softly caresses your face in between periods of stillness. Your body becomes one with the earth. Your toes find themselves nestled beneath the tiniest grains of sand. The sound as each wave arises and departs sedates the soul.

Can you hear it? Can you smell it? Most importantly, can you see HIM?

Scriptures express two distinct, two very separate yet profound ways in which God communicates and shares Himself with us through what is known as general and special revelation. The latter is for another Note however, Paul departs his wisdom with regards to the concept of general revelation in his letter to the Romans in 1:20:

“From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see his invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse what-so-ever for not knowing God” (NLT).

Nature reveals to all of creation a God of order, a God of magnificent power, a God of intelligence, a God of overwhelming beauty, and a God that unmasks Himself in the most intricate of details.

Have you ever become mesmerized by the flawless symmetry of a snowflake? Or what about the fingerprint imparted on a leaf? No two are identical. And have you ever stopped to consider how the ocean understands just how far its reach is allowed on land? Or do you discover yourself deep within a forest, captivated by the rustling of the tree tops, as if they harbor their own form of spoken language? The Father reveals not simply His divine and perfect nature, but also His personal qualities with each and every one of us through nature.

As believers, we can stand upon Scriptures and their assertions regarding the omnipresence of our Lord yet when chaos enters our lives, we fail to recognize Him. You may have even found yourself begging Him to “show up," not realizing He never once left.

Truth is, friends, make it a point to unplug and spend more time with nature. Whether it be from a boat or in your own backyard, be intentional. God desires to show Himself to you.
